The best part about organics is all the waste, the virtue signaling, the techno babble and the ripoff artists. AKA I read da labels pt 6

Been waiting a decade for one of the digital ganja gurus to tell the community why 50 lbs of signature artisanal craft seed/nut/grain meal should cost $250 plus shipping and tax?




I pay $22.


The best answer anyone can come up with is "Huh? Barley isn't seed meal, it's for da enzymes, da enzymes! Plants love dis shit! "

Da enzymes? Yeah okay, come back when you're finished larping at the Idiocracy convention, friend.

Looks like the malted barley filler content is actually bringing my protein content down to 12%. I read da labels.


No, organic pothead . You don't need karambucha nut paste extracted from the cracks of some sacred cliffs of India during prayer hour. You don't need brand name guru approved seed flours. Stop being weird, potheads. Stop standing in line with your wallets out in front of the Supreme fert outlet and stop posting about it on social media if you don't want decent people like me laughing at you.

These organics woo woo gurus got everyone's soil so fucked, and pockets so emptied, brains so rotted. Feeding protein out of gold plated glass jars, for da enzymes.. Telling everyone they need more sulfur, for da terps, when their plants are sulfur toxic. Yet no one can tell you how much a bale of peat expands to (2.2>2.5,3.0>3.75).Or how many cubic ft are actually in a 4 cubic ft bag of perlite (3.33cu.ft.). No one has any money left for a tissue test or sap analysis to see how bad they are actually fucking their plants by taking youtube advice. Seems that poor quantification and taking people's word for things = the name of the game in 21st century organics?

Will you please explain your protocol in further detail?

I experimented using seed flour and it worked very well for a while. I would grind 10 grams of seed per gallon of water. I did have issues after 1ish rounds as the medium became too dense and needed additional perlite or rice hulls to help 'fluff' it back up again.

This was hard to read. Yes many companies overcharge for products and yes a lot of it is just marketing to get people to spend money.

Protein directly relates to C:N ratios and N availability/release in soils.

I have yet to see a sulfur toxicity in cannabis. At worst I'm seeing additional osmotic pressure in the rhizosphere.

What are u even talking about? ^^ What nut/seed meal are you refering to? For example: there is a huge difference between alfalfa-meal and wheat flour. Whats with da labels? That post looks like a trainwreck -.-

I did what the "gurus" said to do, lol. I went down to the local brew store and bought 10 lbs of their cheapest malted barley. I could get it even cheaper if I wanted to order a whole 50 lb bag, but I only re-up 2-3x a year. I grind it the day I use it with a 30 year old coffee grinder. Each plant gets top dressed with a 1/4 c every 2 weeks, no matter its size. Seems to do the job just fine.

Pretty damn cheap for premium quality. No gurus marketed any products to me. In fact, they suggested that I buy local if I could. And for the stuff that I can't find locally, I'm glad that there are people / companies that offer products of various levels of quality for any budget.
